No it's not. It's absolutely normal in Germany.
> Why would anyone stand for it?
Because it goes both ways. The employer has to adhere to the same period. This gives some safety for both parties. The employee can search for a new job if they are let go and the employer can plan for at least a quarter.
That said, a one-sided clause would not even be legal here.
- olliej 4y agoDoes the article say the employer has to adhere to this? Because my US employment contracts try very hard to make arbitrary, cause less, and notice-free dismissal built in. You have to realize that the US governments have repeatedly taken then position that non executives do not have rights. There’s the concept of a “right to work” law in the US, and what that means is that a company can fire you at any time for any or no reason. Historically the government would use the policy to break strikes by having the police kill the strikes en mass, and as we see with the recent rail strike, the government will just make strike action illegal if you ever actually attempt it.
